The preliminary investigation indicated a silver Kia Optima was driving north on Midway Drive and struck a pedestrian who was crossing east on Midway Drive between Valley Parkway and Washington Avenue. The male driver of the Kia has been identified as a 36-year-old Escondido resident and the male pedestrian was an 82-year-old Escondido resident. Alcohol and/or drugs do not appear to be a factor in this collision, however weather may have played a role.
